Eliminating retract for short moves?
August 16, 2011 03:45PM
I know there's a php script floating around somewhere that converted SF gcode for use with gen2 electronics and had the ability to eliminate retracts for short moves, but is there an easy way to do this if you're using RAMPS and don't want to bring php into it?

I'm using the alternate style hobbled bolt in an Wades (the one made by grinding thread to make a spiky grip wheel), and I believe it's actually chewing through the plastic when it gets to parts where there are many retractions with very little feed between them. (at least I hope that's it, I've been chasing this intermittent feed jam issue for weeks...)

Thanks!

Trying it right now, thanks!

I thought such a thing should exist, but not having a Bowden extruder I would have completely ignored that thread...
